HEURE ASTRALE
Hommage Paris 1785
Luminous,
elegant and contemporary, the "Heure Astrale" combines the best
of the Jaquet Droz watchmaking know-how with the expertise of
the Manufacture's jewellers.
Deliciously
attractive, exquisitely feminine, the "Heure Astrale" is adorned
in its most beautiful finery and shines with the brightness of
thousand flames in a subtle and dazzling display. With every turn,
the dial makes its selection between lacquer, diamonds, sapphires
and semi-precious stones in a glorification of colours, revisiting
in a totally original way the love of balance and asymmetry that
characterises Jaquet Droz. This faithfulness to the spirit of
the founder makes it a natural part of the "Hommage Paris 1785"
Collection.
All
around the off-centre hours and minutes counter located at twelve
o'clock, the corolla set with 178 diamonds plays on the contrast,
revealing petals of resplendent beauty whose brilliance, painstakingly
created by master jewellers, stands out against a background of
classically sober black lacquer.
In its 39 mm 18-carat white gold case this model houses a self-winding
double barrel mechanical movement. Available in three Numerus
Clausus limited editions of 8 models: white diamonds, black lacquer;
black diamonds, white lacquer; diamonds, sapphires and rainbow
semi-precious stones on black lacquer.
This
watch, an ode to femininity, offers the wearer its very heart:
the measurement of Time.
